The patch titled omap2_mcspi.c: NULL pointer dereference has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was omap2_mcspic-null-pointer-dereference.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: omap2_mcspi.c: NULL pointer dereference From: Scott Ellis <scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Check spi->controller_state before dereferencing. Shows up NULL here when using spi_alloc_device()/spi_add_device() and spi_add_device() fails before spi_setup(). Calling spi_dev_put() on the leftover spi_device results in the error.
